Core 'pondinglg low rates arc IN effect from
other Tennr.s Alabama and Georgia pCints /;
also from Mis.isstp 1, Kentucky ana olher
ttatce.
Emigrant rates are not given from some
points east Of Atlanta, for the reason
that some states oppose anything which
Will tend to induce their peopla to Mi
Crate. Some Of them have laws which
prohibit the distribution Of matter b.
emigrSnt advertising agents. Texas Tosds
cannot control the matter of low rates
from other states to Texas, but must
have the co-operstion OF connecting
lines. The principal reason why the Low
rate to California exists is because the
Southern Pacific system controls line
from the Mississippi river to the Pacific
ocean and can make the rate without
olucI bub upJ"lEu-
standing the apparently low rate to Cali
fornia emigrants can reach Texss for
shout one-half what 1t costs TO go TO
California, and proosbly more would stop
with US if the state did as much to induce
them SIS the railroads do.
-
This settles the point made by The
GAZETTE, namely, that the railways are
Offering no Inducements in the way Of
low rates to Texas. 1t will be seen by
reference to the foregoing tables that
special inducements are offeTed-such
figures as will catch the class of immi-
grants that are desirable. But what is
the Texas Traffic Association doing to
induce people to come to Texas? asks
THE GAZETTE. Let the following list of
soliciting passenger agents maintained
by the roads composing the association
answer the question:
